Hi Cynthia
I have copied this from Dr. Lamm's BCG reports from
www.bcgoncology.com/drlamm/
I am no expert and am not sure if this applies. But it does mention joint swelling and inflammation of the eyes.
Complications of BCG
BCG is expected to cause mild burning with urination and increased frequency of urination, and may cause mile flu-like symptoms. Patients who are prone to arthritis may have increased joint stiffness, and even pain and swelling. With repeated treatment there is a risk that the bladder may decrease is size.
Fever actually is associated with an improved response to BCG, but it can herald a BCG infection. Fever and chills should be treated promptly with combination antibiotics that are effective against BCG. On rare occasion serious, even life threatening infection can occur. BCG can infect the lungs, liver, bone, and even circulatory system (heart and arteries). Inflammation of the eyes can occur.
Regards,
Jack
